These have got to be some of the coolest MOCs I've ever seen. Great job Todd.
They remind me of a cartoon from the 80s called Dinosaucers. In the show a
dinosaur race evolves a technoligically advanced civilization and then
something happens to their planet so they come to Earth for help. Anyway, the
combo of dinosaurs and technology is what reminded me of it.
